Goodridge stainless steel lines
Most people know that I have been having problems with my brakes. At first it was the caliper I was guessing but then it could have been the goodridge kit. I have had nothing but trouble with this kit! First the bolt strip my calipers and now it's leaking!
I had fix everything then it was time to bleed. As I bled it I found two leaks. Turns out the copper crush ring was not holding in liquid. It would leak so I went to napa and got the same size crush ring but a little thicker but not much. Work perfectly!
Then I went back to bleeding until one of the banjo bolts broke where the hole was. This was the only one that had work straight out of box. It was tight on but still leak then it just broke. At this point i'm like WTF! I didn't even touch that bolt. I guess it was pressure from the brake.
Now I'm sitting here using a bolt extractor to remove the bolt. Hopefully it works or I will have to order another caliper.
I recommend no one to get goodridge until someone else installs with no problem. Hopefully black Betty get to installing his soon so I know if it was the caliper or the bolts. I honestly think it's goodridge.

I had to buy all new copper crush ring in thicker size. Goodridge rings suck! They leak everywhere. Now my car works fine. Still have a small leak but it will be fix. Its leaking probably smaller than a tear drop
Nogood Im talk to the vendor about getting the stoptech

those Goodridge lines are messed up..... you gotta change them out so you dont loose the brakes and end up ruining the bumpers and then the bumper saga gets another chapter in the books....lol

UPDATE:
Alright I try the goodridge on my current caliper and the new overnight set. BOTH DIDN'T WORK! I call over one of my G37 buddies locally to let me try his. Didn't work!
The one that did work was false. They tighten up but will still leak through the copper crush rings.
It is currently 3:02am Baton Rouge,LA time right now. Guess what I am doing. I'm putting back on my Non-s Caliper and rotor thanks to Goodridge. I finally found out it wasn't the caliper and just the goodridge kit.
